Description

This is a 12 foot neutral boulder with a lot of cobbles that makes for interesting route finding.

Getting There

One can approach from the West (North) entrance to the park as for The Grocery Store Wall. Follow to beginning of Fountainbleau Area, and continue on side of cliff for another 90 feet. Big Blue Boulder will be large boulder on left after the cliff face begins fragmenting. From here, go downhill, perpendicular to the fragmenting cliff face. Go downhill around 70 feet, and you will see it. It is right before Balancing Boulder.
